1958 Map of Douglas

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates this portion of the Tennessee Valley, where the 1958 landscape reveals a dense network of rural churches and family-centered landmarks. The community of Douglas serves as a central hub, surrounded by agricultural tracts and small settlements like Horton and Hyatt. The terrain is marked by significant historical boundaries, including the Cherokee Boundary cutting across the northern reaches and the tri-county juncture of Marshall, Blount, and Etowah counties. Waterways like Slab Creek and Reedbrake Creek carve through the plateau, while the Old Tennessee Valley Road provides a glimpse into the region's early transportation corridors. For those researching local heritage, the map is remarkably detailed with local institutions, from Highview Sch and New Hope Sch to numerous houses of worship such as Rock Springs Church and Wesley Chapel.
